First!

This soldier has a sound tactical grasp of the situation within the army.
In fact the situation in life.

Anon/EarthGirl/GU - yup I suppose it is a good rule for life. The main exception being the bar - always, always be first at the bar.

Murphy makes absolute sense here...even at the bar, you never know, Soldier, y'never know.

Aha, but rules are made to be broken. The key is knowing when and how to do it.

GG - I suppose first at the bar means first to pay for the drinks.

Katy - Exactly - although the main purpose of this law is to stop you getting 'spammed' for extra work.

Stu - :-)

Laura - I frequently break this 'law'. If I hadn't I wouldn't have been skiing twice and trekking in the Himalyas for next to nothing!
